Cat Breeds

The Persian is one of the most placid breeds. Gentle, quiet, and sweet-natured, Persians will not necessarily play with the kids, but neither will a houseful of children bother them--not much does! Just keep in mind that sticky-fingered kids can wreak havoc with the Persian's voluminous coat.
Appearance
Beneath all that beautiful fur is a cobby, well-muscled, medium to large cat with short, thick legs. The roundness of the body is emphasized by a massive, round head, a short nose, and large, round eyes. The ears are small, widely spaced, and set low on the head. Eye color depends on the color of the coat. The Persian's dense coat is exceptionally soft and silky; the hairs of both the undercoat and the outercoat are quite long. The Persian's luxurious long hair extends from its ear tufts down to its bushy tail.

Weight: 9-12 lbs.
